Another testament to the aging potential of CA wines. ripe plums, Cloves, chocolate, a bit of cedar. well balanced. Excellent winemaking from Beringer!

We received this wine as a shipment from the Beringer wine club and stored in a wine cooler until tonight. We grilled some chicken, asparagus and sweet corn on a charcoal grill and this wine was a great complement. The fruity flavors may have been lost since the wine was past it's prime, but we enjoyed it greatly with the meal. The wine was very smooth and retained a great oaky flavor.

Not bad for a 2000 and I tend to not be wowed by cab franc. Good structure, shows a little green pepper. Good finish.
